Experts praise this serum as an affordable, gentle entry point for addressing dark spots and uneven tone, especially for those with sensitive skin or darker skin tones. The tranexamic acid derivative is noted to penetrate effectively, and it layers well alongside other actives like retinoids and vitamin C without irritation. One important note: most gurus stress this is not a first-line treatment, they recommend starting with a retinoid first, then adding this serum if needed, since results take time and gentleness means slower fading. A few reviewers found it effective but not dramatically impressive compared to pricier alternatives, or flagged that those sensitive to niacinamide may want to patch-test first.
